In the early stages when Doc moved him to the 5 spot last year he was a monster. He wore down the stretch but when he did have legs he was on beast mode.

Wed, 19 Dec 2012 19:14:07 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=255899#comment-149539That’s nonsense. He was brought in to provide both. If they were only looking for a defensive role player they couldve picked a Keith Bogans type and not given the mid level exception. His value was that he could hit 3’s AND defend. I have watched the C’s game all year and if you never saw him play you would say he was an average defender at best this year.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 21:20:40 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=255899#comment-149371You got that right with the Garnett part. He might not put up the stats that he did years ago, but look at the numbers on how the team performs when he’s on the court vs. when he’s not on the court.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 21:18:21 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=255899#comment-149370My point is just that it is way to early in the season to judge a veteran team like the Celtics or Lakers who are both playing without key injured players. Historically, the Celtics are a team that kicks it into high gear when it counts, which is ultra frustrating for a fan for the majority of the season.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 20:58:00 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=255899#comment-149366Their best bets are on the team right now. If by the end of the season Avery and Jeff Green aren’t integral parts of the Celtics rotation and contributing heavily they will get bounced badly come playoff time.

If ANYTHING happens to Garnett this team will fall apart.

That priceless! I’m still laughing!!

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 19:01:56 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=255899#comment-149343Why not ask Utah to give up Jeremy Evans? He’s a big that’s talented but is superglued, nailed, and shackled on the bench. I’m sure they can use a SG in exchange.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:54:09 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=255899#comment-149326This is awfully similar to how the Celtics looked early on last year. Doc is too good a coach and there is too much talent for them not to round into form. I still have them as a top 4 seed in the East, and the Heat and Knicks will cross their respective fingers, hoping the other one has to deal with that curmudgeonly leprechaun.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:53:53 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=255899#comment-149314Um…..yeah. Nobody expected them to be #1 seed in the East. Nobody expected them to suck.
They’re alright. Not alright in a groovy, Matthew McConnaughey kind of way.
Alright in a Janine Garofolo, circa 1993 kind of way. Seen worse. Seen better.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:43:47 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=255899#comment-149312Lee isn’t playing as badly as those numbers show. He’s in a shooting slump but is still a plus defender who can slash to the basket. I’d love to keep him, but Bradley does the same things only better. If he can get us a solid big, pull the trigger.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:22:57 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=255899#comment-149298Teams nowadays can’t get a quality big-man for a quality guard, given the lack of talented big-men in the league.
And right now, Courtney Lee isn’t playing like a quality guard, so I don’t see this working out for Boston.
